  5. Allowing Students Multiple Attempts on a Test or Survey

You can allow a student to take a test multiple times. Allowing multiple attempts is the best option if the test or survey is a self-assessment. If it’s a graded test, you will probably want to keep this option off so that the student can’t retake it if they don’t like their grade.
